The best place to stay for peace and quiet, with a caveat

If you've been to Ireland, then you'll know the scenery, but to paint a picture, from this house' sun room, during our stay, we had rainbows, stunning vistas, and rolling hills every morning. The location is perfect to get to Murphy's ferry (take that one, the owner is amazing, and the loading is much safer for your car. We grounded out on the Bear island ferry and the staff was not as welcoming) and is central enough to access all the hiking the island has to offer, save for the ones closer to the town. Bere Island itself is close enough to get to most of the southern tourist stops, all the way up and including the shannon ferry and the cliffs of Moher, but thats the maximum rage without missing the ferry back. You'll need to plan a few BnB stops outside that range to see ll of Ireland. This cottage is the pinnacle of a quiet retreat, and the island itself is as cozy and welcoming as you could ever want. There are electric heaters for those brisk nights, the bed was a cushion of clouds that we never had a bad night on. The mornings with cows in the field and ducks foraging in the front were just magic. The caveat, the utilities and internet are built for purpose. Hyper efficient toilets don't always flush completely, hot water is taken from a heated tank that sometimes refuses to heat, and the internet is provided via cell signal which can get over taxed. Do not count on it for anything more than texting and email. Despite that, HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Geräumiges Ferienhaus in toller Alleinlage

Ein sehr schönes, großes irisches Cottage, das nachträglich um einen voll verglasten Wintergarten ergänzt wurde. Großzügige Wohnküche, die das komplette EG der Vorderseite einnimmt. Nach hinten im EG Bad und WC getrennt. Oben zwei Schlafräume und ein gemütlicher Lese-/Fernsehraum, sowie ein separates WC. Die Lage auf der Insel ist wunderbar, erhöht mit weitem Blick nach Süden, Westen und Osten über das Meer und die Küste. Viele Bücher und Videos (alle auf Deutsch), falls das Wetter mal nicht so toll ist. Man erhält nach Buchung eine Mail vom Vermieter mit den wichtigsten Informationen. Da könnte vielleicht noch ergänzt werden, dass der Backofen nur funktioniert, wenn man auch den Timer einstellt, und dass der WLAN Router bei Ankunft ggf erst eingeschaltet werden muss und sich oben im Lesezimmer befindet.

Beautiful views from a cozy Bere Island home!

We had a wonderful stay at this house on a hill on Bere Island. The views were amazing and the house is very centrally located on the island. The house has everything you would need. It’s a lovely place to reflect and rest. Thank you!

Bere Island

Overall a beautiful place with awesome views it would have been nice if the place was cleaner. We had to clean the lower floor on arriving because of dead insects and cobwebs in the cupboards. We would have liked better communication about the garbage,Casltletownbere was closed ,which meant we had to take it all the way to Bantry in the car holding it on our lap. But all in all, it was a pleasant stay!

A house with a view

Geweldig gelegen huis. Voldeed aan de verwachtingen. Prachtig uitzicht. Genoten van de omgeving, de mensen, het uitzicht en de rust. Punt van kritiek: het was niet echt schoon. Punt van aandacht voor toekomstige huurders: in het voorseizoen is er niets te doen qua uit eten of drinken. Er is één gelegenheid op het eiland dat wel open is en tevens een klein winkeltje is. Edith had al gewaarschuwd om in Castletownbere boodschappen te doen omdat het winkeltje duurder is, maar het gaat er meer om dat je goede voorraad eten en drinken in huis hebt. Verder een dikke plus.

Super Lage!

Es handelt sich um ein gut ausgestattetes Haus in grandioser Lage. Ruhe, Abgeschiedenheit und ein toller Ausblick gepaart mit schönen Wanderwegen und einer interessanten Inselgeschichte machen einen Aufenthalt auf Bere Island unbedingt empfehlenswert. Leider wurde uns nicht mitgeteilt, dass der Kaminofen aufgrund defekter Tür nicht nutzbar war...

Das Haus ist sehr schön gelegen, auf die Zeiten der Fähre muss man gut achten, wir haben eine Nacht spontan woanders übernachtet. Der Müll muss bei der Abreise mitgenommen werden, es gab leider keine Informationen, wo wir ihn dort entsorgen können.

Getaway

We had a wonderful stay at Ediths beautiful cottage. Edith was a great host and her caretaker looked after us very well. The house is in the most stunning location on the beautiful Bere Island with fantastic views. It is very comfortable and cosy with everything there that we could need including a cot and high chair for our baby boy, There is a great selection of Dvds and books also to enjoy. We loved the conservatory where we sat and relaxed and the sitting room upstairs with the breath taking views. There is also a great big garden which our older daughter really enjoyed. We fell in love with Bere island with its slow pace of life where you can switch off from the world and it’s beautiful beaches where we swam and played and made wonderful memories. We cannot wait to return to Ediths home again.

Homely cottage on beautiful Bere Island!

Lovely homely cottage with terrific views of the Atlantic ocean and sheep's head! The house has all the things you need to cook and chill or whatever when the weather may be bad on the island and it's a great base to explore the island too and really good value.

Incredibly well equipped house with love for details.

The house is just great. The view is majestic, the space is huge and in the house you find anything you need. You can start living there without the need to buy anything. Small drawbacks are that we couldnt find detailed information how to get connected to internet with the claimed Prepaid? The water is quite orange and the promised water filter was not there (only small cartouche). The Waterheating in the bathroom should be renewed. The wintergarden is not water proof. Water dropped in at many places in the roof. Apart from that. Awesome.
